The Grand Opening was supported with demo cars from Alpine and Rockford-Fosgate, local morning radio host Romeo and the Goodfellas with a live remote, TV personality Anthony Campos and was catered by Tacos Take-2. Many show cars from Al & Ed’s Autosound locations were there to support the new Franchisee. It was marketed through email and social media posting, as well as local print support.

An Alpine Jeep Wrangler was on site showing the latest Alpine ReStyle products.

“I had what I would call a successful operation in LB Audio Shop,” stated Efrin Gonzalez, Franchisee. “Once the Al & Ed’s switch was turned on, I saw an immediate lift in business. The two days after I was live on the website’s store locator, I had six customers who came in specifically from our website. In addition, I have full access to brands I couldn’t get before. It’s awesome.”

The Long Beach location is Al & Ed’s 14th owner-operated store.

“We’re always looking for good candidates who can represent our brand well and want to take their store to the next level,” stated John Haynes.
